FAQs

Books

I can’t access Amazon in my country, or I choose to use an alternative to Amazon. Where else can I buy your books?

Many booksellers can order the books directly from my publisher, Hackett Publishing Company, and in many countries you can visit their site to order directly from them as well. If you are in Europe, you can also order my books from Grimfrost.

How can I get an autographed book?

At this time, we don’t have an easy mechanism set up for distributing autographed books except at public talks and events. Any such events will be announced on my Youtube channel.

Classes

I’m not a University of Colorado student. Can I take one of your classes?

At this time we do not have the ability to accept students from outside the University of Colorado system in the classroom (or online), unless they are formally enrolled through the registrar by some means.

Do you offer online classes?

Not at this time. If that ever changes, it will be announced on the Youtube channel.

Old Norse and Norse Mythology

I don’t attend a university where classes are offered. How can I learn Old Norse (or Icelandic)?

I may eventually produce a textbook in Old Norse, but for the moment that is years away. In the meantime, I have a playlist of videos that introduce you to the basic grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation of Old Norse, and in the following video I explain what I think are the best materials for studying the language on your own.

I want to learn how to speak Old Norse conversationally, or use some conversational phrases in something I’m writing. Can you help with that?

By their nature, our written Old Norse sources are not full of normal, everyday conversation, but in the following two videos I explain some likely translations for the phrases people often want.

Will you translate something into Old Norse and/or runes for me? Will you consult on my movie/show/game/book?

Due to the overwhelming number of them I receive every day, I no longer accept requests of this type except very small requests at certain times from Patreon supporters. Because of time constraints, I accept very few requests for film and television show consulting.

Can you recommend some good books for someone interested in your field?
